Mission Loc@l

Brooke Minters was born and raised in Los Angeles, where she developed a taste for culture and cuisine at an early age. A taquería connoisseur and documentary maker, she's eaten her way through most of L.A., Granada, Havana, and New York. It's only fitting that she finds herself on the food beat in the Mission.

  You're absolutely right. Food stamps are a supplement, which is why food banks are so vital. Many people work and have incomes while receiving food stamps, but SF is so expensive it makes you wonder how far THAT money goes. The challenge was to see if you could do it without supplemental income, but I know I found myself growing resentful during the week thinking, "People have other resources besides food stamps, so why can't I eat this or that?" The fact of the matter is some people do have other sources, but a lot of people don't. #
